This bill reorganizes the internal committees of the District of Columbia Council by dissolving the existing Committee on Recreation, Libraries, and Youth Affairs and replacing it with two smaller subcommittees under the Committee of the Whole. One new subcommittee will handle parks, recreation, cable television, and community affairs for Asian, Caribbean, and Latino groups, while the other will manage public libraries, youth affairs, and community affairs for African and African American groups. The legislation also officially appoints specific councilmembers to lead these new subcommittees and their members. Additionally, the bill grants authorization for outside legal counsel to assist in an investigation involving Councilmember Trayon White.
